I have set up samba 2.2.2 (debian package 2.2.2-2, actually). Files are shared out (though Win98 doesnt like my valid users lines, a task for another day). However, it hits the fan when I try to share out my printer to my win2000 system (note: I can print from the server). Ive been through DIAGNOSIS.txt and the HOWTO collection, which didnt help, unless I missed something. Here are some relevant lines from the smb.conf file. I left out the file sharing sections. [global] server string = %h server (Samba %v) netbios name = Werewolf workgroup = WORKGROUP security = share encrypt passwords = yes printing = cups ; hosts allow = 192.168.1.0/24 ; valid users = @users ; valid users = %S nt acl support = no guest account = nobody [printers] comment = All Printers path = /tmp printable = Yes browseable = No [Lexmark] comment = Lexmark Z52 Printer path = /tmp printable = yes writeable = no <--- saying yes here doesnt work either valid users = @users nobody guest ok = yes use client driver = yes Im past errors like "unable to connect", but either it gets stuck on "opening" in the printers window or just gives me an "unable to print" error. Help! Jason
I spent about two weeks trying to figure out why my z53 wouldn't work. Send me $50 bucks for the answer. Just kidding. However, working this problem through certainly improved my linux and samba skills. The z53 is fancy. The windows drivers have an option, on by default, for printer to pc communication. Such communication is impossible with the samba server sitting between the pc and the printer. Turn off this option in the lexmark program on the windows side, and I think you will be happy. Despite this limitation, my pc can still see how much ink is in the cartridge. At least, it shows the amount is falling the more I use the printer.
